Paglino: Overall I felt Fastlane was a slightly above average PPV. It seems most of the IWC is unhappy with Reigns main eventing WrestleMania for the title, and while I’m not thrilled with the idea either, Reigns’ win tonight certainly didn’t ruin the PPV for me.

The crowd in Memphis was comatose for most of the event, and that sucked a lot of the life out of the show, but my overall complaint is thrown together matches and weak finishes. The Divas division is meaningless, Ambrose vs Barrett was thrown together and the finish was terrible, the 6 man tag was done solely to get Orton back on TV, the Cena vs Rusev finish was terrible, and Goldust vs Stardust has been given very little build.

I thought the main event was very solid. From a wrestling standpoint, I’m not worried about Reigns and Lesnar delivering a good match, but Reigns just wasn’t able to win the crowd over tonight. Is that because the crowd was lifeless or because fans still feel Daniel Bryan is more deserving? Maybe a little bit of both. It’s a tough call, but WWE has its work cut out for them building Reigns as the babyface against Brock Lesnar who has been getting more of a babyface reaction in recent weeks.
